Tower of London, Greenwich

The day after I arrived in London, I got to meet up with Bec and Brendan! It made me so happy to see mates from school again! It was fantastic. We met in Leicester Square and went to see the Tower of London.

Oh it was great,we spent ages in the Tower. I loved all the horsie armour and the weaponry the best. It wasn’t quite what I had expected. I had expected it to be a proper tower with many more rooms filled with torture and suchlike.

The tower of London stuff surrounded by immensely medieval surroundings.

The White Tower? I wasn’t paying paying much attention.

The line to see the crown jewels.my camera couldn’t get it all.  We didn’t see the crown jewels.

The Raven Guard.

Sexy plushie guards!!

OH NOES!

I don’t remember at the moment what else we did that day.

The next day we went out to Greenwich with Bec and Brendan. It was fun. This was the first time Bec and Brendan had met Andrew.

We looked at the house of Queen Anne and suchlike and the royal naval colleges.

the house of queen anne. Unfortunately tourists got in teh way of my pretty shot.

Naval Colleges, with Queen Anne’s house behind them.

Brendan, me and Bec infront of a statue of… a guy. I don’t know who it was.

OMG. Greenwich meridian telling us about CANBERRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we went on a cruise down the Thames and we had this hilarious southerner narrating the cruise and he talked funny!!!

Obligatory Big Ben photo!!

Millenium Wheel… exciting. We didn’t go on it as £15 or whatever was a little… expensive.

Then we went to the Notting Hill Markets and it was fun and I bought things and wanted to buy more and I found the best hat in the world but it was £25 …

Then we split up from Bec and Brendan and we went to the Globe to see “Holding Fire”. We went Via St Paul’s Cathedral.

Obligatory self-taken photo.

So yeah, “Holding Fire” was cool, it was all William Lovett and his lot. and they all did strange accents. And we were in Standing room and they had like awesome people in the audience and it was cool. There was a guy in the Audience who looked JUST like Guy Fripp. It was freaky!  We got rained on too.

outside the globe.

Inside!

Then we walked the streets of London late at night to London Bridge Station and we got seperated from the rest of the group heading for the station adn I got mildly freaked out… but we got home ok so it was ok.

So there!
